WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — An unusual storm system hovered over Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs for more than two hours Thursday night.

From about 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., the skies for miles around were bright with a dazzling lightning display.

In just a short amount of time, water got pretty high off Highway 401 in Fuquay-Varina, giving some motorists a tough time.
